yet another attempt to define "Americana"

The hive mind of Wikipedia describes the genre as "an amalgam of roots musics formed by the confluence of the shared and varied traditions that make up the American musical ethos," which says everything and nothing.

"I don't really know what Americana is," Miller says with a shrug. "It's just the music I like. I don't understand why some people aren't Americana and some people are. I don't really get it, I'm just glad I fit in."
